The Victoria CCRR is so pleased to be partnering with the Early Childhood Pedagogist Network (ECPN) to have a pedagogist for our CCRR catchment area. Chivonne Graff has been a dynamic and thoughtful educator in our community and it will be an honour to work with, and be influenced by, her keen dedication to the early years. Our program will share more details over the coming weeks as to how you can think and work with Chivonne. Until then, please check out the ECPN website: https://www.ecpn.ca
Chivonne is grateful to be an early childhood educator of 28 years living and working on the ancestral homelands of the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations, Lekwungen speaking people, whose historical relationships with these lands continue to this day. In her commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, she considers ways that she can support early childhood educators and the children they engage with to be a part of healing, deepening relationships to the land we are on. At its heart this work questions and challenges the colonial systems that continue to oppress and subjugate minoritized people. She is currently completing a MA in Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria.
